The Taj Story is a Hindi courtroom drama headlined by Paresh Rawal. Released in October 2025, the film received negative reviews, with critics labelling it a Hindutva propaganda film. At the box office, the movie went unnoticed. The Taj Story underwent a rigorous review process by the CBFC, and the clearance process spanned several months as the film alleged that the Taj Mahal was originally a Hindu temple.

Eight months after its theatrical release, The Taj Story has finally made its way to the digital space on Jio Hotstar. It remains to be seen how the movie will be received by OTT audiences.

Written and directed by Tushar Amrish Goel and produced by CA Suresh Jha under the banner of Swarnim Global Services Pvt. Ltd, the movie also stars Zakir Hussain, Amruta Khanvilkar, Namit Das, and Sneha Wagh in key roles.

Vikram Sahidev, son of producer Lagadapati Sridhar, is gearing up for the release of his rustic action drama Anakapalli, which is slated to hit theatres tomorrow. Directed by Khagesh Tammineni and written by Trinadha Rao Nakkina, the film has taken an unusual route ahead of its release.

Producer Lagadapati Sridhar confirmed that ‘Anakapalli’ will release only in Anakapalli on August 7, 2026. The makers decided to assess the audience response before expanding the film to other regions across the Telugu states and Tamil Nadu. It is a rare release strategy, especially for a theatrical release.

Interestingly, with less than a day left for the release, advance bookings have yet to open even in Anakapalli. It remains to be seen how the film performs with this experimental rollout and whether a positive response will pave the way for a wider release.

Apart from Vikram Sahidev, the film also stars Sandhya Vasishta, Tarak Ponnappa, Indraja, Absar, Srinivas Vadlamani, and Naidu Kandregula in key roles. Produced by Kandregula Naidu and Trinadha Rao Nakkina, Anakapalli has music composed by DavZand.
